Your #CreateCOP28 submission should be your own personal interpretation of the climate crisis, however participants might explore themes such as: climate justice, corporate greenwashing, material innovation, wildlife and ecosystem conservation, grassroots activism, intersectional environmentalism, regeneration, the physical and mental impacts of the climate crisis, and nature-based wisdom.

Eight finalists will be awarded cash prizes of $10k, $5k or $2k. An additional 20 creatives will receive honourable mentions by a globally recognised panel of judges comprised of industry experts. A selection of work from new and previous #CreateCop winners will also be displayed at our first IRL exhibition, held at United Nations HQ in New York.
